Notes:
Stanley Clarke's exploration of world music influences has occasionally led him to incorporate elements that resonate with Middle Eastern music. While not a primary focus of his career, Clarke's virtuosic bass playing and his work in jazz fusion have allowed him to experiment with various musical traditions. In some of his compositions and collaborations, particularly in his film scoring work, Clarke has incorporated modal scales, rhythmic patterns, and instrumentation that can evoke Middle Eastern musical elements. His openness to diverse musical influences has contributed to a style that sometimes bridges Western jazz fusion with global musical concepts, including those from the Middle East.
